THE average New Yorker has been so

ENTERTAINMENT COnMITTEE.


In view of the fact that large excaIsion par
ties from the north and east eqIently lay over
in Houtton on their way TO California snd Old
Mexico, would 1t not be well TO have commit
tee of citizens to show the visitors about the
city and extend them other cOurtesies: As q
general thing the eNcursionists are capitalists
and prOspectors, and 1t is not only pos sibe, but
extremely probable, that II trouble were taken
to furnish them informatio of the natural 4 l.
vantages of the city, siderable benefit w Iuld
result therefrom. Denver, city much larger
than Houston, has a committee of citizens
whose duties are to show visitors thrI ugh me
city, ard as it has been maintained for several
years it is reasonable to infer that practical
good has resulted. There is no ort of doubt
that similar committee would materially ad
vance The interests of Houston. Those who
come to the city and have no favor
able opportunities for observation, go away I'M
enlightened as to our present business 81
future prospects; and II should be the aim of
the citizens, by showing cOurtesles to strangers
and q wing Information of our commercial ad
vantages, TO produce a favorable Impression.
What is everybody business is nobody's, and,
theref re, certain persona should be designated
by the business men and property owners TO
receive and entertain in q mod st way those
who may come among Us, to the end that
goOl report of the city be spread abroad. The
Post thinks snch e plan, If carried out. would
| res ult beneficially to the city.
The GAZETTE gives place to the shove
as containing hints that are applicable to
Fort Worth. This city needs TO organ
ize its efforts, and will never reap fully
all that it might until it does so.

THE CONVICT PR0BLEN AGAIN.

4 writer in recent number of the
Austin Statesman, discussing, in com
municated article, the much-debated
question of convict labor, makes strong
and humane point as to the DISPOSE
tion of the revenue accruing to the
state from that source. His argument
is that the convict, if physically able to
labor, shall be worked, steadily and in
dustriously, at such labor as gives the
largest returns. The convict shouts not
be charge upon the taxpayers and there
fore the cost of his food clothing, medi-
cal attention and guards should be de-
Quoted from his earnings. 1t is the dis
position of the surplus, after such de-
duction, that is to be considered. The
correspondent in question takes precisely
the same view that has been put forward
by THE GAZETTE, in Articles considering
the convict problem, which may be briefly
stated as follows: When the convict has
met the expenses above enumerated the
residue should be placed to his credit; if
he has a wife and children it might be
paid to them and thus compensate them,
in some measure, for the loss of the sup
port which they had derived from the
husband and father If there is no family
let the fund remain to the convict's
credit, to secure him, if he so desires,
some luxuries to soften the rigor of prison
life or to aid him in making an honest
start in life when he regsins liberty.
Such a policy would be at once humane
and wise from an economic standpoint.
It would stimulate the convict to better
conduct, in the way of deport-

Real Estate Boom In Kansas.



In all the history of Kansas there was
never such real estate boom as is on
hand now. We do not mean as to prices,
for Of course they have grown as the
country has developed and become more
populous, but the inquiry and movement
which, even comparatively considered,
exceeds anything ever know in that line.
Readers of the Times can hardly fail to
notice that this movement is quite gen.
eral. Our reports from every section of
the state tell the same story-a steady,
al most eager inquiry for real estate, and
q great volume of transactions at good
prices.
And the movement applies to country
as well as city property. Reading the re-
ports of real estate transfers that are pub
Iished daily or weekly by many of the pa
pers, it is seen that city lots are not the
only species of realty sought after. There
is an unusually good demand for farm
ing and stock lands, and sellers are get
ting very fair prices-hobody seems to be

VALE, CONGRESS-.

Congress adjourned yesterday and it
may be said of the body and its work
that its sins of omission outweigh those
of commission. 1t failed to put itself on
record as favoriDg reform OF the tariff
system and it fell short of its duty to the
country in making liberal and needed ap-
propriations for coast defense. These
are the most serious acts of omission.
With clear Democratic majority in the
House,that branch of Congress owed it
to the party to pass tariff reform meas
ure and thus redeem the pledges of the
party to the country. Such q measure
could not have run the gauntlet of the
Republican Senate, bat that was not q
matter of concern to the House, which
would haye left the Senate to bear the
responsibility of refusing to deal with
the tariff. As it is this RESPONSIBILITY is
shared by the Democracy, or one wing
thereof, and messurably the party as an
entirety comes in for criticism. Some OF
these days there will be a Democratic
House with enough backbone to take the
bull by the horns and tell the protection
lists that semi-legalIzed robbery of the
people must cease Most of US will live
to take pride in that dsy. With $780,
600, 900 of idle money in the treasury,
tins Congress might have well afforded
to appropriate hall of the amount for the
important matter Of coast defense. All
that amount would not have been needed
or consumed in one year, as the work
would have been prolonged through sew
eral years. What was needed was an
energetic start. The naval appropria-
lions, it is true, are more liberal than in
past years, but Congress did not 60 far
enough; the appropriations should have
covered heavy ordnance and for
titicatioDs as well as war vessels. Other
measures, and many of them Of really
practical importance to the country, were
introduced, but are resting quietly in
committee rooms. Perhaps they will
know resurrection next year, perhaps
they are sleeping the sleep that knows no
waking. Congress did not do anything
that it should not have done, but it left
undone great many things that ought to
have been done. 1t gave the country,
however, some needed legislation on va
rious subjects of moment. The question
os
longer be matter of apprehension, as it
has been for years past, for the law en-
acted cures all defects. There can never
be any break in the line of succession, and
the party in power is guaranteed
continuance at least for the term
to which the President who may die
was elected. This WIS wise and
timely measure Then the. principle of

county, 235 bushels to Callahan, and 235 bushels

The committee suggests that you send $500

and notify the Judge of that county of the fact.
Your own Judgment will decide as to what
kind of seed will be most timely.
The committee, in behalf of the people bene-
flied, sincerely thanks THE GAZETTE for Its
generous efforts fol the relief of the drouth
sufferers. Respectfully, WIN. FERGUSON,
For the DrOuth Relief Committee.
In compliance with the above instruc-

Fort Worth's People,

Fort Worth is peopled by men of the
right sort. They have energy, enterprise
and humanity. The employees of the Fort
Worth and Denver Railroad have been
for some time making weekly contribu-
tions from their wages for the drouth suf-
ferers. The road itself has been giving
work out which was not yet needed to be
done for the benefit of those seeking en-
ployment. The employees of THE GAZETTE
made up $50 for the same cause, and the
Fort Worth fund for the stricken district
is the largest that has been sent by one
community yet. The bread they cast
upon the waters will return to them, and
such s ieopie were never yet defeated in
anything they undertook to accomplish.

perhaps, as any Of its predecessors, and
if there ere regrets that it failed to com

people in some directions, it is at least
matter for congratulation that it was
fully up to the line of an intelligent con-

THE GAZETTE will receive and &C

the drouth sufferers. If funds are not
being raised in other towns where there
are parties who desire to help these peo-
pie buy seed, THE GAZETTE will be
pleased to add such contributions to its
list. THE GAZETTE is informed that oats
may be sown as late as March 10, and as
rapidly as funds accumulate from these
donations to buy seed the purchase will
be made. Without aid to procure seed
for planting these people will be as help
less in the future as they are now. 1t Is
